The Harrison Family Collection
: Lots 300 to 313 are all items given by George Harrison to his brother, Harry, and other members of his family. The collection dates from the 1960s and 1970s and three items, in particular, represent important stages in George's career as one of the leading rock musicians of the 20th Century. Firstly, a black leather jacket comes from the period when the newly-named, and little-known, Beatles honed their skills in the clubs of Hamburg and Merseyside. The many hours they spent onstage, from the latter half of 1960 through to 1962, helped hone their musical skills and transformed them into a group poised on the brink of unimagined international fame. Acquired in Hamburg, George wore this jacket both on and offstage and it appears in many of the photographs taken of the group in those formative years. Early in 1962, manager Brian Espstein managed to persuade the group that the only way to progress in the music business was to 'smarten' themselves up, both in their choice of wardrobe and conduct onstage. Out went the leather jackets and trousers and rather sober, tailored suits became the new image. Following the group's phenomenal rise to stardom in 1963, their new look of Pierre Cardin-inspired suits with collarless jackets, worn with black Chelsea boots, widely influenced the clothing adopted by the teenagers of the day. The pair of 'Beatle' boots included in this collection are from the time when Beatlemania was at it height and, whilst various suits worn by the Beatles in 1963-1964 have been preserved, a pair of boots from this period are a rare survivor. After the Beatles broke up in 1970, George embarked on a new stage in his life as a solo artist. He got off to a flying start with the release, in 1971, of several hit singles and the triple-album 'All Things Must Pass'. This year also saw him, along with Ravi Shankar, organising the Concert For Bangladesh, the first rock concert staged to raise funds for humanitarian causes. Since the mid-1960s, George had become deeply interested in Eastern religion and music and this was his response to the suffering of the people of Bangladesh caused by both a devastating tropical cyclone and the effects of civil war. The Concert For Bangladesh was held at New York's Madison Square Garden and an orange shirt identical to that worn by George onstage is another highlight of the sale. Made by Nudie's of Hollywood, suppliers of Western-style clothing to the stars, the shirt bears a label with George's name and features the Hindu 'Om' symbol, to match those on the white suit George also wore for the concert. Other items in the collection reflect daily life as a Beatle, including demo recordings, Fan Club records given away at Christmas, a camera to record the madness surrounding the group from an insider's perspective and publicity photographs signed by George and with signatures of the other Beatles forged by him in an effort to keep up with the overwhelming demand for autographs. George Harrison/The Beatles: The iconic black leather jacket, worn throughout early stage appearances in Hamburg, Germany and The Cavern Club, Liverpool and for publicity material,
with elasticated cuffs and waistband, matching facing to collar, two angled pockets, zip fastening, inner pocket with label reading

Just as their collarless jackets helped define the Beatles' image during 1963-64, so did their black leather jackets (and matching trousers), bought whilst in Hamburg, in the pre-fame years of 1960-62.
During the group's first trip to Hamburg, August-November 1960, they became friends with a group of young Germans known as 'Exis', followers of the French philosophy of Existentialism. Amongst them were photographer Astrid Kirchherr and her boyfriend, Klaus Voormann, an artist and illustrator. They favoured black clothing, including black leather jackets and coats, and Klaus wore his hair brushed forward in a fringe, a style that was later to become the 'Beatle' haircut. Astrid was soon to fall in love with the Beatles' bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe, and the group, influenced by the Exis' clothing, began to adopt a similar look. Pete Best, in his autobiography, 'Beatle!', records that George bought a leather jacket from a waiter for £5, and Pete, Paul and John then all acquired '...cheap bomber-style models which we wore with the tightest of jeans and cowboy boots.' Apart from the considerations of fashion, there were, according to Pete, some purely pragmatic reasons for the leather: 'We had sweated so much into our other clothes on stage they were falling apart. We needed something we could play in and walk around in, live in. So we just thought, leather is what Gene Vincent wears, that's a good hard image and that was it. But when we got back to Liverpool people really started looking at us.'
The Beatles returned to Hamburg in the spring of 1961, for a residency at the Top Ten Club from 1st April to the 1st July. Mark Lewisohn records in 'The Complete Beatles Chronicle' that they appeared onstage for 503 hours over 92 nights and that '...their stamina and musical versatility improved dramatically as the visit wore on. When they returned to Liverpool in July they were simply untouchable.' Pete remembers that they were met on arrival at Hamburg station by Astrid, wearing a black leather trouser-suit (op.cit). In 'The Beatles Anthology', George recalls the impact the trousers had on the group and so Astrid took them to a tailor who made them all a pair.
The all-leather outfit remained a favourite look for the Beatles onstage throughout 1961 but after they signed a management agreement with Brian Epstein in January 1962, this was all set to change. Epstein, the dapper, well-groomed businessman, persuaded the group that in order to progress in the music business, they would have to change their 'Hamburg' look and attitude - smoking, eating and fooling around onstage - for something smarter and more professional. His suggestions met with some opposition, particularly from John, but they all eventually agreed and Epstein arranged for tailor Beno Dorn, in Birkenhead, to make them matching suits. These received their first public airing on 7th March at the Playhouse Theatre, Manchester, for the Beatles' radio debut on the BBC Light Programme's 'Teenager's Turn - Here We Go'. A month later, on 5th April, they appeared at the Cavern Club and Mark Lewisohn records that: 'For old time's sake, the group played first in their black leather outfits and then changed into their new Beno Dorn suits and ties for the second half.' (op. cit.) Never entirely comfortable with this transformation it seems, John, in a 1970 interview quoted in 'The Beatles Anthology', recalled seeing the Granada TV footage of the group in suits and ties in the Cavern in August 1962, and reflected that that was when they had, in his view, started to sell out.
Provenance: The Harrison Family Collection
George gave the jacket to his brother, Harry, in the 1960s. A photograph exists, probably taken circa 1964, of Harry wearing the jacket whilst at the wheel of the Jaguar Mk.II that George had given him. Harry's son then wore the jacket to school in the 1970s, when the tear to the back occurred and the cuffs replaced as they were extremely worn.

Learn more about the life insurance policies Joel David Salinas took out on himself, and how these funds helped victims in the end.
See clips Eric Jaglicic created and posted on his MySpace site. He says this scene is for the movie he was working on about the life of "Chicago Blaxican."
On Nov. 16, 2006 Eric 'Chicago Blaxican' Jaglicic's house and possessions were seized by authorities. See what was found.
With investigators eager to confirm that Joel Salinas is running a $39 million investment fraud, he runs out of options and sets off on a final escape.
The $1.5 million raised to produce a movie was a scam. Instead Eric Jagclicic spent investor money on fancy cars, exotic pets, and more.
Read the letter Joel David Salinas left behind shortly before his death in July 2011.
Read the plea agreement from Brian Bjork's criminal case. Federal authorities say he committed a scam within a scam, stealing nearly $1.5 million from a pool of nine victims.
See a copy of the notarized contract that Eric "Chicago Blaxican" Jaglicic says clears him of blame in the movie investment fraud, and proves his house was a gift.
Money laundering can be described as "moving money to disguise what it is" and there are steps to sniff out these funds.

Cold weather, amazing soup, and a good cause-the perfect recipe for two successful events.
The Berry College SOUP (Sponsorship of Orphans in Uganda Project) recently hosted its annual SOUP-Off. Thirty-three clubs, organizations and individuals entered a soup and the event raised $2,418. The Rome SOUP-Off, organized by Rome High sophomore Becky Matthews, raised $863.
Junior Sydney Hulebak is director of operations of the Berry SOUP charter.
"I couldn't be more pleased with the participation in the SOUP-Off this year," said Hulebak, "not only at Berry College, but also with the outpouring of support from the Rome community. It is truly a wonderful thing when the vision of an organization that is doing great things, like the SOUP, spreads and finds investment in new places. I am so excited to see how the SOUP grows over the next few years."
Money raised during the competition will go to the SOUP - an organization founded by Berry graduate Brin Enterkin in 2009 to provide basic necessities, education and healthcare for orphaned children in the impoverished African nation of Uganda. Enterkin gave a short talk during the event. She shared her experience during her last visit to Isiti, Uganda, and her vision for a healthier, brighter future for the children of the village.
"I've been to the event the past three years, but this time I got to participate by creating a soup. Not only did I get great feedback on my soup, but I was able to support the organization in such a unique way. It was really positive experience!" said Alyssa Smith, a Berry junior.
Berry's SOUP-Off included first and second place prizes for the best soups, voted on by attendees. The first place prize was a Gumbo from the Berry Enterprises Student Team. The second place was a Fiesta Lime soup from Dean of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Tom Kennedy and his wife, Melodie.
"The Berry Enterprises Student Team, led by Mary Chambers, is honored to contribute to this important, yet fun event benefiting orphans in Uganda," said Dean of Student Work Rufus Massey. "We are grateful to the very first Berry student enterprise employee, Brin Enterkin, for her vision and passion as founder of the SOUP!"
Prepared by Student Public Relations Assistant Alyssa Hollingsworth.

PistonPowered Book Club: Breaks of the Game by David Halberstam
Who knows how long the NBA lockout will last, but my plan lockout or otherwise was to spend the summer catching up on some basketball reading. Since the news grind will probably slow way down, I figured I might as well give some book recommendations and hopefully start some discussions in the comments for those who have read the books we're featuring or encourage others to pick it up for those who haven't.
I'm starting the series today with a book that should be required reading for any NBA fan, David Halberstam's Breaks of the Game. The book is centered on the late 1970s Portland Trail Blazers, just after their NBA championship and trade of franchise center Bill Walton. But the book delves into way more issues than just the Blazers, and there are a couple reasons I hope people either read it if they haven't or revisit it if they have. The first is to simply look at how some of the balance of power finger pointing between owners and players is almost identical today to what was going on in the era that Halberstam wrote Breaks. Even beyond that, the alleged perception issues the league was dealing with at the time sound so familiar to the tired talking points trotted out by NBA critics today. I wrote about this issue in a review of the book for HoopSpeak earlier this year, in comparison to a Buzz Bissinger column in the Daily Beast that was critical of the league and its perception:
The brilliance of David Halberstam's Breaks of the Game isn't simply that he chronicles one of the most interesting teams in NBA history, the late 1970s Portland Trail Blazers, but that he also provides a firsthand account that shows the arguments for why the NBA would fail were exactly the same in 1979 as they are in 2011.
Halberstam: "Just as the camera had caught and transmitted the true intensity of old-fashioned rivalries in the earlier days of the league, so it now caught with equal fidelity the increasing lethargy and indifference of many players in regular season games, a lethargy and indifference now seen by a largely white audience as at least partially racial in origin."
Bissinger: "When I wrote the book Friday Night Lights about high-school football in Texas, I saw the racial stereotypes of some whites up close—their firm belief that white athletes admirably succeeded because of hustle and hard work and brains, and black athletes succeeded solely on the basis of pure athletic skill. In other words, white athletes virtuously worked their tails off whereas black athletes simply coasted because they can."
Halberstam: "It was not just that they had won, but the way they had won, unselfish in a selfish world and selfish profession. … There were hundreds of telegrams and letters thanking the coach and the players for helping their programs and making it easier to coach basketball the right way."
Bissinger: "Although basketball is supposed to be a team game, it has become more one-on-one in the NBA than a boxing match. The style has changed and it is a definite turnoff."
Halberstam also touches on a still common point that Bissinger doesn't deal with in his column: that fans were being turned off by escalating salaries, guaranteed contracts that crippled teams if the player didn't provide production commensurate with his salary and bitter player-team disputes that often led to star players changing teams.
The beauty of Breaks is just the timelessness of it. There are so many names you'll recognize (Lionel Hollins, Geoff Petrie, Jack McCloskey, Lenny Wilkens, the list goes on) associated with that decade in Portland hoops who went on to become long-term coaches or executives in the league. The book is full of short anecdotes and random stories that will blow your mind. It's one of the best researched books in any genre that I've ever read with the level of detail included.
And the second reason I wanted to start off with this book in the series here is because there is a great story about a young Isiah Thomas when he was a hotshot high school player in Chicago trying to decide on a college:
(Wayne) Embry had thought Thomas a truly remarkable young man of great human promise as well as athletic ability and he thought the worst thing that could happen to him as to go to a school where he would be catered to. Bobby Knight, whatever else, catered to no one. Embry not only helped in the recruiting himself, but he brought in Quinn Buckner, now a Milwaukee guard and former Indiana star who had fashioned a rare ongoing four-year love-hate relationship with Knight while at Bloomington.
With all that heavy weaponry brought in, Indiana seemed to be ahead in the bidding. Then in a dramatic last-minute confrontation, Gregory Thomas, one of Isiah's older and more volatile brothers, had appeared, and there had been a series of charges and countercharges, threats and counterthreats about Isiah's future with Bobby Knight. Gregory included Embry and Buckner among the potential exploiters of his brother. Knight, enraged, had finally blown up. "You're an asshole and you're a failure, and the worst thing about you is that you want Isiah to fail the way you did." He turned to Isiah and got up. "If you stay near him you're going to be ruined. I'm getting out of here. I'm sorry we lost you." Then he walked out. The next day Isiah Thomas, in tears, had come to see Knight and had pleaded for a chance to go to Indiana. There he had gone and soon he too was fashioning a love-hate relationship with Knight worthy of that between Buckner and Knight.
There are other great books out there with more about the Thomas-Knight relationship that we'll hopefully (or not hopefully, if it means the lockout ends quickly) get into this summer.
I'm going to try for two or three of these posts a month (depending on how fast I can read the books on my list). Next book I'm working on is The Jordan Rules by Sam Smith if anyone wants to read it before the next post.

I'd like to think I understand the general workings of the league decently well, but I know little about the legalities in question for a lockout. I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
So what exactly do teams gain from a physical lockout? Can't they just have the cancellations of games and salaries and whatnot but still allow players to use their facilities? It seems better for everyone. Players have access to more and teams get players in better condition whenever the lockout ends. Also, why can't they show pictures and videos of players? Are they copyrighted ro something? And if so, why are they so widely available elsewhere (youtube etc)?
Jul 1, 2011 • 4:57 pm
by neutes
Well I believe it's all a power play in both directions. As for the images the NBA markets players. They make money off their names and likenesses. If the NBA wants to lock out of the players then they are going to say you aren't allowed to use us to make money since you aren't paying us. The teams/league then return with well you can't use our facilities if we can't use your likenesses. Etc etc. Basically during a lockout it's a clean break and there is no communication or contact between either side, except via lawyers.
Teams obviously gain leverage during a buyout because eventually the players are going to run out of money. Even if the league loses money they see light at the end of the tunnel in terms of a CBA that favors them so they'll end up recouping their losses and more, because if they didn't take these measures they were going to lose money anyway.
I'm non-biased but lean toward the players in this. The league obviously got screwed during the previous lockout, but they can't point their fingers towards player salaries being the cause of the losses they are seeing. The player salaries are fixed at 57% of the revenue. If the league was previously profitable under this split, and it was, then they can't blame player salaries for their losses.
Ahh book club. I need to get in on reading some of these. I might try to pick up The Jordan Rules. This is a great idea.
I just finished this book about a month ago and a couple of things stood out – this book was written 31 years ago but in so many ways it reads like it could've been written last week. You're right Patrick – "Timelessness" is a good word for it. The other thing that stood out to me as a Pistons fan were the parallels between this 1979-80 Portland team and the Pistons of this past season. Old guard vs. new guard, trade rumors swirling throughout the year, recent trade of best player, etc. I agree that it's required reading for any NBA fan. Next I want to read "Playing for Keeps" by Halberstam.

I was looking for Break of the Game at Barnes and Noble the other day. They didn't have it, so I had to settle for Halberstam's Playing for Keeps.
I've also read the Jordan Rules. Very very good book. Helps you understand how powerful Michael Jordan's personality really was.

Laser…i thought exactly the same thing. I was hoping for an official pistons planking club. The first rule of planking club would be that you cannot talk about it :-) On a serious note though the Jordan Rules is a good read if anyone is after a great insight into the inner sanctum of the Chicago Bulls. You get a good understanding of how much they really hated the pistons and how much of a**hole Jordan could be. I guess you can't be the g.o.a.t without pi**ing someone off. Throughout the whole book you see how much a coach (good one) means to a team, not just on the floor but off it as well. Phil Jackson seemed to psychoanalyze his players and bring out the best in them and the book really is a great read especially for the younger guys that might of just missed out on the Jordan era.

This book club idea is a very good one, even for non-lockout summers. One book I want to recommend is The Tao of the Jump Shot I read it years before but want to reread.
I will try to find Breaks of the Game when I'm back in Portland.

I've read the Jordan Rules twice in the past. It is an excellent look at MJ and gives a lot of insight into his personality. The rest of the team has interesting moments as well throughout.

Date myself but I remember the chapter on Kermit Washington was excerpted iirc in Inside Sport shortly after it's launch (I had subscriptions to both Inside Sport and Sport Magazine at the time). I went out and read the whole book and many of Halberstram's other books over the years. Great first selection and a reminder about how much race still affects the perception of the NBA.

They can check the list, do the chore and check it off themselves. They know if they don't, FamZoo dings their account accordingly. It is a great lesson in responsibility."
"The charitable giving is also great. Now the kids have their own funds to put towards charitable projects. This gives them a much closer sense of the meaning of giving when it comes out of their own specific savings and not my wallet."

Mom to Kevin (16), Lauren (14), Nathan (13).
"We are loving FamZoo! It is a great tool to give the kids an allowance without always having to shell out a bunch of cash which we never seem to have. It is so easy to navigate through and get a quick snapshot of everyone's accounts. It's a breeze to enter transactions. It's been such an easy way to teach our kids about using their money wisely since the money tree in our backyard isn't doing so well."
"We used to do something very similar to this by hand in the old-fashioned check book register. Periodically the kids would bring me their registers, we'd have to count how many weeks had passed since they were paid last, deduct for God and college savings, and finally get their spending balance. Obviously, this is so much easier."
"The kids are enjoying their ability to check their current balance for their spending money. Lauren loves to check her savings goal for that horse she dreams of. The bar graph showing her progress (however slow it may be) is a great visual for her."
"I LOVE the donorschoose.org website that you recommended. What a great service to kids and to the teachers striving to provide them with a great education. Thank you for sharing that!"
"You guys are great. We love your site and definitely don't tell you often enough."

Mom to Maya (9), Amelia (7).
"My kids enjoy knowing how much money they have, not needing to keep track of the cash, and seeing their savings increase for responsible behavior! They are so much more likely to let go of a purchase if we ask if they want to pay for it. They are definitely making better choices and being more careful with purchases."

Dad to Reid (7).
"Reid loves FamZoo. Every penny he finds or earns goes into FamZoo. He gets great pleasure watching his account grow. As his charitable fund grows, it has given us a chance to discuss more serious topics and how he wants to contribute to others. It has also provided me with a powerful lever at times. He hates getting 'bad behavior' fines :)"

Washington, D.C. - Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke on the House floor today against H.R. 358, which is a radical assault on women's health. Below are the Leader's remarks.
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding and for giving me this opportunity. As a mother of five children, when I brought my baby, youngest baby, number five home from the hospital, that week my oldest baby was turning six years old. The birth of a baby is such a jubilant occasion, and women's health is essential to the health of families, of raising our children in a way that has respect for all of them.
"It's very interesting that we are taking this bill up now when the number one priority is the creation of jobs, and once again, we come to the floor of the House with a major distraction that ain't going nowhere in order to cater to an extreme agenda of the Republican Majority.
"The American people want us to take up jobs. They want us to take up the American Jobs Act, which [two-thirds] of the American people say they want us to consider. It would create nearly 2 million jobs. Or we could vote on the China currency legislation, which would [create] 1 million jobs and has the support of the majority of the Members in this body including 61 cosponsors from the Republican side of the aisle.
"But again, we're instead pursuing the Republicans' ideological agenda, forcing us to re-litigate a very divisive issue. Every woman in America should be very concerned about this assault on women's health. Let us begin the debate with a very clear understanding of the facts. The federal funding of abortion is already, and has been for a long time, prohibited under the Hyde Amendment, except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
"Furthermore, the Affordable Care Act prohibits the use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. That is why the Catholic Health Association said, 'We are confident that [the health care reform] does not allow federal funding of abortion and that it keeps in place important conscience protections for caregivers and institutions alike.'
"I repeat, the Catholic Health Association said, 'We are confident that [the health care reform] does not allow federal funding of abortion and that it keeps in place important conscience protections for caregivers and institutions alike.'
"This bill is a radical departure from existing law. It represents an unprecedented and radical assault on a woman's access to the full range of health care services. For the first time, this bill places restrictions on how a woman with private insurance can spend her own private dollars in purchasing health insurance.
"As a result of this bill, millions of women using Health Insurance Exchanges are likely to no longer have access to insurance policies that cover all reproductive services.
"Furthermore, supporters of this bill falsely claim that this bill is simply a restatement of the Stupak amendment considered by the House in 2009. It is not. This bill is very different from the Stupak amendment - it appears that health care providers could withhold care for women with life-threatening conditions. In other words, a woman could be dying on the floor of the hospital, and when you vote for this bill, you will be saying the caregivers would not have [inaudible] to treat that woman and keep her from dying.
"The Obama Administration has come out strongly against this legislation, rightly saying it 'intrudes on women's reproductive freedom and access to health care and unnecessarily restricts the private insurance choices that women and their families have today.'
"So just a few points again. Public funding of abortion is prohibited under the Hyde amendment, except in cases of rape, incest, life of the mother. The Catholic Health Association says we are confident that the bill does not, the Affordable Care Act does not allow federal funding of abortion and that it keeps in place important conscience protections for caregivers and institutions alike. And third, it is not the Stupak amendment.
"This legislation is bad public policy and it is the wrong priority for Congress. It is an assault on women's health, and women should know that. It prevents them from using their own dollars to buy their own private insurance, should they be part of an exchange.
"I urge my colleagues to vote no and implore the Republican majority to turn their attention to what this country needs, and that is jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, and more jobs."

In his inaugural address last month and Tuesday night's State of the Union address, President Barack Obama signaled much the same, though the 44th president is taking the show-don't-tell approach.
Without stating the obvious — a majority of American voters in 2012 favored Obama's progressive ideas over Mitt Romney's conservative ones — the president aims to spend the political capital he's earned. The era of modern conservatism — with a calamitous mixture of weak regulation and tax cuts favoring the wealth — is over, Obama indicated Tuesday. His State of the Union wish list included an increase in the minimum wage, proposals to battle the dangers of climate change, reforming of the nation's immigration policies, support of gay rights and passage of gun-control laws.
On that last item, the president laid down a challenge. Congress has a role in these ambitions. Since Obama took office in 2009, the Senate and the House of Representatives have been models of inefficiency. Republicans have been in lockstep opposition to every big proposal Obama favored. Worse than that, they've employed penny-ante parliamentary tricks to deny many of the president's bills and personnel appointments an honest up-or-down vote. (Seriously, would any Fortune 500 company allow such dysfunction to persist?)
The National Rifle Association spent good money procuring the members of Congress in its camp, and those lawmakers likely will employ every trick in the book to keep gun-control bills from seeing the light of day, especially ones the overwhelming majority of Americans support.
In anticipation of this, Obama said Tuesday each of his gun-control "proposals deserves a vote in Congress. If you want to vote no, that's your choice. But these proposals deserve a vote. Because in the two months since Newtown, more than a thousand birthdays, graduations and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun."
Powerful stuff, as was the president's economic argument that, "It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country — the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love."
After four years in office, Obama has surely learned that soaring rhetoric alone won't accomplish his goals. He'll have to bargain with his loyal opposition, an exercise that all too often devolved into belligerence and talking past one another during the president's first term. That won't do. The issues facing the nation are too important. Otherwise, Obama's second-term capital will be squandered.

Love this product, such fun colors and long lasting. Stila is a quality product and I love all of their products, but the countless color pigment is a must have for the summer!
I was hoping for an awesome summer lid color but not very pigmented. Have to layer a few times to get the right color:( I love stila just not this product
I work at a cosmetics counter and was very excited when we received the new Stila shades. Sadly, I am very disappointed with the shadows.
The colors are not very pigmented, you have to layer so much of the product onto the lid. It's not worth it. Also, the colors in the shadow jar mix together and are very hard to clean up to get to use just one color; after you use the shadow once, you will ruin the likelihood have being able to use each individual shadow again.
This product should be sold at drugstores at a significantly lower price. It should not be sold in department stores or cosmetic counters.
I first bought this in Indie (the purple/pinks) but returned it because the colors did not vary much, and i wanted something that i could do an entire eye look with. I then bought encore, which is a bit better. The shadows are quite soft and are easy to apply and blend, but are not very pigmented. I found myself having to pack on the shadow to get the colors to really show up. I haven't tried any of the brighter colors though - hopefully they have more pigmentation!

Cherise A: Actually these are quite pigmented, but are more translucent then say the non shine version. The defintely are more pigmented than the rouge volupte candy. I'd say this is right in the middle of the two. Great way to wear brighter colors. Oct 27, 2013

Chrystie M: Yes they are sheer. They do have some color payoff though. They are very moisturizing. They are more pigmented than a lip balm, but not as much as a lipstick. Hope this helps Oct 27, 2013

Tracy W: It depends on the color, I have the pink and purple colors, the purple has more color than the pink, I would say the pink is more sheer.

Cynthia R asked: I love this formula but it doesn't stay on long, For evenings out I find myself having to reapply several times a night. Any suggestions for how to keep it on longer? Dec 10, 2013
Rochelle B: Try using lipliner i a similar color on entire lips before using Rouge Volupte lipstick.
Another option is to use a matte lipstick first and then add the "shine". Rouge Volupte is not a long lasting lipstick ;it is more of a gloss. Try one of YSL's more pigmented actual lipstick if you want a long lasting effect. Dec 11, 2013

Carol T: I am not one who likes gloss. I thought it was going to be more like a lipstick. I use it over a matte lipstick. I have been looking for five 1/2 years for the perfect color to replace one that YSL has discontinued. I found one very close but it is a matte lipstick, I use this on top of it.

Cynthia R: Thank you Carol. Peggy (another customer) suggested a lip pencil over the entire lip as well. I used to do that but now that I'm over 50 I find that not using a lip pencil looks more natural and doesn't age me. I'm blessed with a natural lip line around my lips (i'm toffee colored with very full lips). I love the rich color and moisture of the volupte shine so I guess I'll have to use a lip pencil. Glad now that I only bought 2. Maybe I'll try the original volupte lipstick. Dec 11, 2013
Carol T: Hi Cynthia,
I don?t like lip pencils either. I liked Rouge Volupte in Provocative Pink but that is discontinued as well.
I look best in pure pinks, instead of pinks with blue tones. I had to switch to another brand until YSL brings back pure rose and pink colors.
Good Luck. Dec 11, 2013

A shopper asked: I am wondering how long can the lipsticks last for when i start to use it?

Michele E: A lipstick can last up to a year. Most lipsticks contain ingredients which allow it to have a reasonable shelf life and to minimize bacterial growth. Keep it in cool temperatures and away from direct sunlight or sitting in the car during the summer months. Though the lipstick is still usable, the lipstick will soften and in some cases melt. Though the lipstick certainly can be used after one year, it's always fun to shop for a new color for a new season. Feb 21, 2014

PAT H: This lipstick last a good length of time. I have purchased several colors and I change colors frequently.

The color is absolutely beautiful. I get nothing but compliments on my lip products and all of them are Yves Saint Laurent. I even ordered a wrong color by mistake and put it on...Everyone was asking where did I get that lipstick. I wear no other lip products but Yves Saint Laurent...Go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Santa Rosa neighbors get their mail, and an apology
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.
Santa Rosa's acting postmaster Wednesday paid a visit to the postal patrons who'd been told by her agency to move their mailboxes from their front doors to the curb, and whose delivery service was suspended when they failed to comply.
Julie LoDolce apologized to the residents, handed them their stored-up mail and promised that walk-up delivery will resume immediately.
LoDolce brought with her to the neighborhood off Hidden Valley Drive the Santa Rosa Post Office customer service supervisor, Gurpreet Kaur, who apparently acted without the postmaster's knowledge or permission when she sent out letters directing about 10 postal patrons to move their mailboxes to the street.
Kaur "sort of overstepped her authority, got a little overzealous," said USPS spokesman James Wigdel in San Francisco. "There were some procedures that were not followed precisely."
Wigdel said he could not comment on whether Kaur might face disciplinary action for improperly suspending patrons' mail delivery after notifying them that "safety issues" with their driveways required that they move their house-mounted mailboxes to where they can be reached by a carrier in a vehicle.
The apology by her boss, LoDolce, coupled with LoDolce's promise to immediately resume home delivery, appears to end an episode that proved perplexing and insulting to several neighbors on Winding Ridge Drive, Winding Ridge Court and Stonewood Drive.
The third week in January, each received from Kaur an identical "Dear Postal Customer" letter. It advised them that Kaur had recently become aware that an unsafe condition existed at their homes because "the letter carrier is required to drive up and turn around/back up in your personal driveway to service your mailbox."
The letter asked that residents relocate their mailboxes to the curb.
Lifelong neighborhood resident Mike Haas figured that for the letter to be sent to him was a simple mistake. He said his carriers have never once driven up his driveway, that they park at the curb and carry his mail the short distance across the driveway to the front door.
Haas said he phoned Kaur to inform her of the apparent error, and she insisted repeatedly that there is a safety issue at his house and he must install a mailbox at the curb.
Several of Haas' neighbors were equally perplexed because the mail carrier does drive up their driveways, but they said she makes an easy U-turn at the top and there has never been any evidence or mention of a safety concern.
Haas and some of his neighbors said that if the Post Office wants to convert them from walk-up delivery to drive-by, there are USPS procedures for instituting that change. They said it irked them that Kaur appeared to have manufactured a safety issue in order to bypass the procedures and simply force them to move their boxes.
Postal spokesman Wigdel said a few of the residents who received the letter from Kaur did install mailboxes at the curb by the deadline Kaur had imposed: March 16. Delivery service to those who did not comply was suspended on March 18.
A story in The Press Democrat on Tuesday was followed by a news report on CBS/Channel 5.
Also on Tuesday, a carload of USPS officials inspected the conditions in the neighborhood. Among them was a safety inspector and a USPS driving instructor.
Shortly after 2 p.m. on Wednesday, resident Haas reported, "The acting postmaster just stopped by my house, hand-delivered my mail and apologized for this whole mess."
He said he showed LoDolce the letters he'd received from Kaur, and it was evident to him that the postmaster had never before seen them.
Wigdel, the USPS spokesman in San Francisco, said a letter of that nature should have been signed by the postmaster, not by a customer service supervisor.
He said the post office's review of the situation in the neighborhood revealed that "there were three customers in particular who got the letter who shouldn't have."
At some point, Wigdel said, postal authorities will get back in touch with those residents who have long driveways and will work with them to find an agreeable mode of mail delivery.
But for the moment, he said, "The most important thing is that the customers now have their mail and delivery is being resumed.
"We apologize that there was a disruption in the mail flow," Wigdel said.
On Winding Ridge Court, Mike Haas concluded, "I think we got the whole problem resolved."

"Bears will be better this year than last. D will be better with Urlacher back and Peppers should help out. Run game will be better with some moves they made at the TE position which will allow Olsen to be used more as a receiver. Cutler will look better in Martz scheme. Having said all that I don't think SB is in the near future." I disagree with you that the Bears will be better this year than last. Why? Because the three other teams in their division have improved as well, primarily through the draft. Because of some foolish trades, the Bears didn't have a 1st or 2nd rounder. While their defense may be better on paper with Urlacher and the addition of Peppers, I don't see it being appreciably better. I don't see Urlacher returning to his pre-injury, pre-thirties form. As for Peppers, he's a good player...but he's no Reggie White. Again, I never said the Bears were winning their division and not once did I say the other teams in their division took a step backwards. RESPONSE: I never accused you of saying those things. The Vikings, Lions, and Packers all improved through the draft...where the Bears did not.Conntrary to what you may think, it is possible in the NFLfor a team to get better from year to year and have other teams in the division not do any worseand even get better as well. If you told me the Lions were going to win 10 games this season, that doesn't mean the Bears are a worse team to me. What remaains to be seen? If key players stay heallthy or if the if the Bears are a better team? RESPONSE: Again, I don't believe that the Bears' defense will be appreciably better. Furthermore, I have no confidence in Jay Cutler. Cutler is the most overrated player in the game.I said you fondled children. This was a controlled experiment to see if you react the same way Urlachher reacted to Sayers' comments.RESPONSE: Again, Sayers made no personal attack against Urlacher. He stated his opinion as a fan...as we all do. You said Urlacher should stop whining and play to win. Then you respond to fondling children by saying it is ridiculous. RESPONSE: It was a ridiculous analogy.Then you try to insult me by compaaring me to the Dogggand wwe all know how you feel about him. I didn't compare you to the Dog(gg). What I implied was that since you were making such an off-base analogy, I can see why you enjoy Dog(gg)'s contributions. But, if it came across that I did compare you with him, my deepest apologies to you, sir. To compare other posters to him is indeed an insult...LOL!!! Actually, I have no personal animousity against the Dog(gg). Between us girls, I actually kind of like the guy. I just enjoy busting his chops every now and then...LOL!!! You say one thing, you do another. You gget all fired up when someoneone doesn't agree with your opinionRESPONSE: So you say.You have convinced yourself that your opinion is fact. It seems to me that there are four posters on this thread alone who have singled you out, maybe we are not the problem, maybbe it is a common link.RESPONSE: Excuse me if I disagree with you. As for the four posters that I allegedly have singled out, two are Indy trolls, while Russ is a person who constantly engages in personal attacks. If you see my disagreements with you as that as a personal attack, perhaps its' you who have the problem, sir.Posted by MaritimePatsFan

jbolt - I am willing to give Cutler the benefit of the doubt, but I also realize I am running out of rope. I defended Cutler in the McDaniels spat because 1) I think Cutler has the tools to be great 2) I thought McDaniels was showing his own immaturity by the way he handled things (btw - this is great for the chargers - another failure in the AFC West means the Chargers just keep on taking the crown). As hindsight is 20/20, I admit that McDaniels (regardless of my opinion of the handling of the situation) managed to get at least, if not more than, full value for the trade. He deserves to be commended for that. Cutler did not produce last year as many (including me) thought he should to get the monkey (his handling of the Bronco situation) off his back. So, I will support him again this year, but if he does not perform, then I may have to admit that I was wrong about him.

We can't really afford to run the ball as much as the Vikings did since they have a top 5 RB. I understand AP isn't exactly up to 100% health just yet but he's still one of those players who can make any defense look stupid. We need to rely on our strengths in the passing game with Cruz and Nicks (hopefully) and sprinkle in the runs when we can.
3/25/14 - Updated Mock with 5th round comp pick
1. Anthony Barr, Defensive End, UCLA
2. Marcus Martin, Center Guard, USC
3. Anthony Johnson, Defensive Nostril Tackle, LSU
4. Marcel Jensen, Offensive End, Fresno State
5. Wesley Johnson, Offensive Any Guard, Vanderbilt
5. Aaron Colvin, Defensive Halfback, Oklahoma
6. Storm Johnson, Guy Who Runs With Football, UCF
The only two times I remember the 49ers abandoning the run was against the Giants in the NFCCG last year and against the Vikings this year. Guess what? They lost both games. The strength of this team is the running game. They run the ball like no team in the NFL.
